Ali al-Houthi: Yemen’s Support for Gaza Will Continue, Arab-Islamic Silence Only Serves Israel
Senior official warns Saudi Arabia and UAE against serving enemy interests and reaffirms Yemen’s decisive readiness against any threat
Yemen, PUREWILAYAH.COM - In an exclusive interview with Al-Masirah TV, Mohammad Ali al-Houthi, member of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council, reaffirmed that Yemen remains steadfast in its support for the Palestinian people in Gaza.
He emphasized the effectiveness of Yemen’s Support Front and the need for genuine Arab and Islamic mobilization at a time when the region faces the dangers of the so-called “Greater Israel Project” and American-Israeli plots.
He stated that Yemen’s Armed Forces “will continue their support until the aggression stops and the siege on Gaza is lifted,” adding that “the Yemeni Support Front has proven highly effective despite the long distance.”
Al-Houthi warned against silence and inaction, advising Saudi Arabia and the UAE not to engage in any battle that serves enemy interests. He stressed that Yemen “will fight ferociously anyone who seeks to bend its religious, humanitarian, and moral stance.”
“Our Active Front Will Continue and Escalate”
Al-Houthi underscored that Yemen’s front is “actively imposing a blockade on the Zionist enemy at sea and confronting ships that violate the embargo.”
He noted that Yemen’s large-scale support “has forced the enemies to form a coalition against it — and they have failed by God’s grace.”
“If the Yemeni support were ineffective,” he added, “we would not have seen such a reaction to it; it would have remained unspoken. The impact of Yemen’s support is real and evident, and the enemy continues to speak anxiously about Yemen’s front.”
He emphasized, “We give Gaza all that is within our capacity. Whoever can do more is welcome to do so.”
According to al-Houthi, Yemen’s greatest gain from this support front “is God’s satisfaction through acting upon our religious responsibility,” adding:
“We ask others: what has your silence gained you? Will the Jewish plan within the ‘Greater Israel Project’ stop because you kept silent?”
He pointed out that “trillions of dollars paid to Trump and normalization with the Israeli enemy have achieved nothing,” asserting that “Trump moved for Israel only after his reputation had sunk to its lowest point.”
Arab and Islamic Stance: The Cost of Silence
Criticizing the silence of some Arab and Islamic regimes, al-Houthi stated, “There are other options besides military action — such as closing enemy embassies and cutting off all political and economic ties.”
He affirmed that “political and economic moves by Arab and Islamic countries would have had real impact in supporting the Palestinian people,” but instead, “these governments call on the international community to act — while they themselves do nothing.”
He added that “Arab states purchasing weapons from the U.S. cannot use them outside Washington’s interests,” and that they “hold significant leverage — they could stop part of their oil exports or withdraw funds from foreign banks that support the usurping entity.”
“Some Arab states have even banned demonstrations of solidarity with the Palestinian people,” he revealed, stressing that “attempts to assemble an Arab-Islamic force to enter Gaza is an old project aimed at protecting the Israeli entity.”
He reiterated that there must be practical Arab and Islamic action, echoing Hamas leaders’ call during Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, reminding that “the Palestinian people were already facing extermination, siege, arrests, and home demolitions long before Al-Aqsa Storm — and the same continues today in the West Bank.”
Holding Arab regimes responsible, al-Houthi said:
“The Zionist enemy never stops its expansionist schemes — so why have Arab and Islamic regimes stopped confronting them?”
Diplomacy Has Failed: “Silence Will Lead to Violation of Every Coward”
Al-Houthi asserted that “diplomacy has offered no solutions to our Ummah, has not alleviated Palestinian suffering, nor freed the prisoners,” emphasizing that “without Al-Aqsa Storm, all Palestinian detainees would still be in Zionist jails.”
He added that diplomacy “failed to stop the ongoing killings, destruction, and displacement in the West Bank,” and that “global public opinion only shifted in favor of Palestine due to Al-Aqsa Storm and the support fronts.”
“The absence of Arab and Islamic reaction to the ‘Greater Israel Project’ reflects a lack of awareness and initiative,” he warned. “The enemies aim to plunder and dominate the region’s wealth — yet these countries view them as friends.”
He cautioned regional states:
“You cannot rely on U.S. protection. The Americans are the first to betray their allies, and they clearly state that Israel is their only partner in the region.”
Al-Houthi added that “Washington views the trillions paid by Gulf states as obligations, not favors,” recalling that “Trump said Gulf countries must pay for protection — yet he abandoned Qatar when it faced Israeli aggression.”
He concluded: “Only action and unity will protect the peoples of this region. We do not rule out Israeli strikes against Saudi Arabia — it is part of the ‘Greater Israel’ map.”
The True Gamble Is Silence, Not Resistance
Al-Houthi explained that “the Palestinian resistance’s capabilities are limited, and the money that went to Trump should have been used to support them.”
He praised the resistance leaders as “free and faithful mujahideen who launched Al-Aqsa Storm and could never remain silent in the face of injustice and massacres.”
“Al-Aqsa Storm and its support are a righteous movement, not a reckless adventure,” he said.
“The true adventure lies in silence and waiting until our people are trampled by American-Israeli boots.”
Conspiracies and Yemen’s Readiness: A Final Warning
Turning to regional plots, al-Houthi said, “It was America, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE — and their tools — that destroyed Yemen by targeting its people and resources for years.”
He declared: “We are not worried about enemy threats. Their tools are burnt cards.”
He stressed that “the mercenaries have no vision for a real, just state and live under foreign tutelage,” warning that “if Saudi Arabia or the UAE engage in any new aggression, they will achieve nothing beyond their past failures.”
“Saudi Arabia and the UAE must take lessons from America’s failures,” he said, adding that “Yemen now possesses more precise missiles capable of striking targets inside any country that attacks us. The Republic of Yemen is not open for violation.”
He vowed that “our armed forces are ready, and the Yemeni people remain mobilized with full awareness,” declaring:
“Sana’a and the free provinces are farther from the enemy’s reach than the sun itself.”
Al-Houthi emphasized that “the operations Yemen has carried out against the Zionist enemy have deeply hurt it — beyond what it expected,” and that “any synchronized attacks or rumors will fail by God’s will, due to the unity and vigilance of the Yemeni people.”
Faith, Awareness, and Defiance
He affirmed that “the Yemeni people act with awareness toward the Zionist project and know how to confront and prepare for it,” rejecting enemy pretexts of “protecting navigation,” and describing any mercenary action as “serving Israel’s interests.”
“Any war against Yemen is retaliation for its support of Gaza,” he warned. “We will confront it with full strength and determination until victory, God willing.”
Al-Houthi condemned the recent assassination attempt on the Yemeni Prime Minister and ministers as “a war crime,” affirming it “will not deter our people or our government.”
“The Yemeni people understand the nature of this confrontation,” he continued, “and they act with all they can against the enemy. No assassination will ever change our stance in support of Gaza.”
“Our Strength Lies in Qur’anic Awareness”
He concluded that “the secret of Yemen’s steadfastness lies in its Qur’anic culture and orientation, and nations must see Islam as the solution to their problems.”
He also criticized the mercenaries aligned with U.S.-Saudi aggression, saying:
“What matters to them is preserving their financial gains from their paymasters. In betting on the Americans and Israelis, they indirectly blame Saudi Arabia and the UAE for not giving them enough support.”
Al-Houthi noted that “Saudi Arabia and the UAE gave these mercenaries everything, yet they failed, while Yemen achieved a great victory.”
He described them as “tools who do not represent the Yemeni people and who have faced many questions and criticism over their silence on Gaza.”
Closing his remarks, al-Houthi declared:
“We rely on the awareness of our Yemeni people to withstand the psychological warfare waged by the enemies.
Our people are courageous mujahideen who faced enemies with valor and restored Yemen’s honor, dignity, and pride.
We are on the right and sincere path — and others must act, for the Zionist entity will not stop targeting them.”
